Where:

This morning we’ll celebrate our fellow animals, particularly our domesticated friends. For so many, they’ve been first responders during the pandemic. We’ll share our love for all species as we lift up the blessings they bring to us and we bless them in return. Pets are welcome to join our zoom service and we will also remember beloved pets we have lost. Rev. Eliza Blanchard will officiate.

Rev. Eliza Blanchard, recently retired, served as an affiliate minister at FPB for several years, offering spiritual care to animal caregivers. She’s edited a children’s book of blessing and prayers for animals, as well as a book of reflections on growing older, The Seasoned Soul.

Our offering this week will benefit Haiti relief through Health Equity International.

We had hoped to hold this service outdoors, in person, but due to the inclement weather forecast, we will meet on Zoom.

Please join us on Zoom for service and coffee hour.
